"Going Up" - one is going up on elevator going down. Shopping Center in Guangzhou, South China.

3D, 4 levels, 1 going up, many going down

cool! changing crowds of people could quickly change the colors and interests within the image

I like it _very_ much! The more I look at it the more i like it, specially for the space partition given by the vertical staircases edges.

 

Just a question: while the two central edges of the staircase are perfectly rectilinear, the ones to the left are slighty curved. Is it barrel distortion? Which lens did you use? This won't reduce my rating, anyway.

the ups and downs in life, well caught and composed

Clever and well executed. Great DOF.

Fabrizio, as far as I can remember this is not a distortion caused by the lens but just the beginning part of the elevator which becomes visible here. That is the part which connects to the floor. The lens I used here is a Vivitar Series I 70-210mm. I noticed some minor distortion in the horizon line when taking photos of the sea.

This image truly states the reason why many go for flights to Guangzhou; the shopping at this great Chinese city is one hell of a ride and the shopping  centres are built with keeping true class and elegance in mind. This elevator is a tremendous example of how comfortable shopping is in Guangzhou.
